Strolling Down Central Avenue - 8

Recall the days when people got all "gussied up" to go shopping as you browse our collection of photographs taken along Central Avenue in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Photographers from Hot Springs studios would take candid photos of people on the street. As you passed by the photographer, he would hand you a ticket that could be used to purchase your postcard print at one of several studios around town. Thousands of these images were taken by Stonecipher's Deluxe Studio, Coffey's Camera Shop or the Petty Studio.

Photos can be submitted by sending the scanned image in an email to the MPGS webmaster or by bring photos to the MPGS Library.
